As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to affect the arts, Ngallery continues to explore the new challenges for artistic creation and mobility, by presenting the second edition of The New
Together project. The exhibition of the collaborative work “Empirical Reality” opens on
Monday, September 12, 2021.
Artist Ryat Yezbick, vocalist Anna Pangalou, and natural sciences educator Georgina
Spyres remotely collaborated throughout the pandemic to create “Empirical Reality”. They
used the element of water as a vehicle to observe the interconnections of our universe and
the tenuous nature of our species. They created a collection of works focusing on water and
its properties that connect them to nature, to each other, to their beliefs and to their
conscious and subconscious intentions. “Empirical Reality” invites the viewer to consider our
relationship to water as a life force, and our permeable relationship with all it contains.
During the pandemic lockdown, contemporary music composer and sound researcher
Nicoleta Chatzopoulou’s Ngallery made an open call for participation in an art project with
the sole prerequisite being long-distance collaboration. Composers, musicians, artists,
performers, directors, writers, scientists and intellectuals from all over the world were invited
and challenged to create collaborative works, overcoming the impossibility of physical
presence in the same space.
The first exhibition of works created for The New Together project was presented with big
success at Ngallery in October 2020, raising a heated and necessary conversation about the
(post-)pandemic arts landscape.
The New Together project aims to explore and define the new conditions of artistic creation,
the new needs for communication between creative people and new possibilities for the
presentation and diffusion of art.
